In the three-year period which followed the murder of President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, 18 material witnesses died--six by gunfire, three in motor accidents, two by suicide, one from a cut throat, one from a karate chop to the neck, five from natural causes.

An actuary, engaged by the London Sunday Times, concluded that on November 22, 1963, the odds against these witnesses being dead by February 1967, were one hundred thousand trillion to one.

Did this include the flat extras that should have been factored in for some of the "occupational hazards" these witnesses were engaged in? If memory serves, several of these witnesses were criminals. Nevertheless, it still would probably be very high odds with that factored in as well.
